Definitions
- the present invention relates to a noise filtering method and thereby a high-definition image restoring technique from a blurred color image captured under an environment of extremely low-level illumination.
- the present invention relates to an image processing technique to eliminate the color blurring and signal- dependent Poisson noise of images captured under an extremely low-level illumination wherein the edge boundaries as well as the detailed information of captured images are well preserved .
- an image- capturing device such as a CCD (charge coupled device) camera or a digital video camera under a condition of extremely low-level illumination
- the quality of the captured image tends to be deteriorated because the energy density of the captured image is lower than that of background noise of the image - capturing device .
- a specially designed image- capturing apparatus such as an IR (infrared) input device or a photo- amplifier should be employed for the enhancement of the quality of images .
- the color blurring is quite frequently observed in images captured under low-level illumination wherein the chromaticity of a spot is totally different from that of the vicinity.
- the color blurring is mitigated under relatively bright illumination. However, when the light illumination is not sufficient, the problem of the color blurring becomes severe .
- each channel of the array comprising the color filter in a CCD sensor is uniformly processed irrespective of the different characteristics of each ' channel .
- a signal processing without taking the brightness of illumination into account influences the relative ratio of the colors of each pixel, which causes a local color blurring as a consequence .
- the captured image under low-level illumination suffers from the signal- dependent Poisson noise in terms of intensity as well as the aforementioned color-blurring problem .
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating the captured image the quality of which is degraded due to the noise under low- level illumination in accordance with the prior art .
- the captured image looks brighter than what it should be due to operation of an automatic gain control (AGC) .
- AGC automatic gain control
- FIG. 1 more carefully, we can observe the blurring of colors in terms of red (R) , blue (B) , and green (G) all over the image.
- the Poisson noise in a pixel unit can also be observed at several spots where without the color blurring.
- DVR digital video recorder
- the technical limit of the MPEG scheme in compressing the image captured under low-level illumination is that since the scattered occurrence of a color spot (which is called as ""color blurring 1 ') could be recognized as a movement of an object in time frame by an MPEG processor, the captured image cannot be effectively compressed and thereby the size of the data storage media should inevitably large .
- the color spot namely, blurring of color
- the images captured under low-level illumination occurs in a randomly scattered manner at each time frame, it is erroneously regarded as a movement of an object in temporal domain during the MPEG compression, which thereby causes the degradation of the MPEG compression rate.
- the temporal filtering scheme in accordance with the prior art employs the concept of motion compensation. Therefore, the traditional temporal filtering scheme requires a huge amount of calculation time (CPU intensive) for the post processing.
- the conventional temporal filtering scheme performs a filtering process by tracing the trajectory of a moving object at each time frame, the calculation time for the estimation of the trajectory becomes too enormous to be implemented in real time.
- the noise filtering technique in a temporal domain relies on a scheme that the motion of an object in a color image is detected only in terms of the brightness (namely, intensity) .
- the traditional technique of detecting the motion in terms of difference in brightness should have a technical limit for the application in a DVR under low-level illumination.
- the prior art has a shortcoming in that the Poisson noise present in the intensity region of an image cannot be eliminated even if the color blurring can be efficiently eliminated in case the prior art is applied in a temporal domain.
- an edge adaptive filtering technique can be utilized.
- the traditional edge adaptive filtering technique has a shortcoming because it cannot eliminate the color blurring.
- the color blurred pixels Since the color blurring in a spatial domain has a large correlation among the neighboring pixels, the color blurred pixels, the color blurring of which is regarded as noise in case of the filtering, is treated as pixels in the neighborhood. As a consequence, the filtered image also includes a color blurring.
- the present invention discloses a technique to eliminate the color blurring and the signal dependent noise of the image captured under low-level illumination, comprising steps of (a) sensing the degree of motion through calculating the difference in brightness and chromaticity among the pixels comprising a frame under consideration and the pixels of a reference frame; (b) calculating a intensity weight -function from the calculated difference in intensity of step (a) and thereafter estimating a chromaticity weight - function from the calculated difference in chromaticity in step (a) ; (c) performing a temporal filtering only for a predefined number of pixels wherein the degree of motion calculated at step (b) is less than a predefined threshold, on each of R, G, and B channels, respectively; ( d) transforming the RGB image into the YUV format; (e) sensing the degree of edge sharpness through estimating the difference in brightness between the central pixels constituting a frame of the image and a predefined number of neighboring pixels; ( f ) cal culat ing the intensity weight - function

- the noise elimination and image - restoring method in accordance with the present invention has a feature in a sense that the filtering process is performed for each of R, G, and B channels while the prior art relies only on the intensity component for the color image filtering.
- the present invention performs an independent filtering process for each of R, G, and B channels in order to take both the intensity and the chromaticity into account .
- FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating an adaptive noise elimination technique and an image restoring method in spatio-temporal domain in accordance with the present invention.
- the mot ion- adapt ive temporal filtering 120 starts with the detection of motion among the frames as a pixel unit through vector-order statistics of the color image . Since the difference in brightness (i.e. light intensity) of an object is not sufficient for the detection of motion under low-level illumination, the prior art has a shortcoming for the application in practice.
- the present invention has a characteristic of taking differences both in the intensity and in the chromaticity in order to detect the motion of an object with accuracy .
- the detection of motion is performed both at intensity weight function block 100 and at chromaticity weighting function block 130 for temporal filtering 100 of FIG. 2.
- W is the intensity weighting function
- W ( is the chromaticity weighting function
- Y 10, 11, and 12 is the deteriorated vector color image .

- the spat io- filtering 700 in accordance with the present invention effectively eliminates the Poisson noise with preserving the edge sharpness through estimating a suitable local mean 400 and local variance 500 from the non- stationary characteristics of the image.
- the above process can be represented by the estimation of local mean 400 and local variance 500 through the spatio weighting function 300 in spatio filtering block 700.
- T N is a support in spatio domain and W, is a weighting function in intensity domain for representing the edge sharpness.
- the estimation of a local mean through the weighting function in accordance with the invention is performed with respect to the pixels of large correlation (the pixels located on the same side with reference to the edge) rather than those of little correlation (the pixels located on the opposite side with reference to the edge) .
